I'll plug it into my spare 6-speed and see if the gears hit the shaft if I can possibly remember.

(I thought the same thing BTW: before I was properly corrected)

I speak from experience, not from what someone else said. They are 100% swappable.

so i just got my 6 speed in too. everything is great and all but the shifter feels sloppy. do you have the same issue? i've read everywhere that the 5 speed definitely feels more solid then the 6, but it seems really bad. this is a brand new OE shifter that i just bought for it too. any suggestions or feedback?
